win xp boot problem... help!!!

Hi all
I have this problem, I have a pc P4 celeron 1.7mhz with XP prof. install.
Some weeks ago i installed FIFA2001 and everything was OK. I uninstalled it
and installed FIFA 2004. it runs and after a day the pc does not boot to
windows xp. it goes through BIOS, starts to boot WIN XP prof to the point
where one can invoke F8, and then it stops and i can only see black screen.
what can i do to solve the problem?
Reinstall? if so how can I creat the 6 disks for clean installation?

Have you looked for maybe Software updates for this?
What happnes when you uninstall the FIFA 2004 Game?

Have you pressed F8 and can you get in via Safe mode? Try uninstalling Fifa
2004 and see if you can then get in. Have you updated anything else since,
new graphic card drivers maybe?

Set BIOS to boot from CD, restart with XP CD in drive and choose the
"Repair" option. Would also suggest re-installing video card drivers. If
you want to do a clean installation delete existing partition, format then
re-install, all done after booting from XP CD.

restart the system - press F8 just after Hard drive detection and choose
'Last Known Good configuration' - after which - uninstall the offenders...
